A tricky fixture away in Greece awaits the Italian giants as AC Milan take on Olympiacos during the final day of the Europa League group matches. Anything less than a point could see Gattuso and his men crashing out in the group stages of the Europa League, with Olympiacos going through to the next round.
AC Milan sits 2nd with 10 points in Group F, trailing Real Betis by a single point. Betis travel to Luxembourg to take on last-placed Dudelange. Olympiacos sits in 3rd place with 7 points, and will need a victory against their opponents at home to possibly secure passage into the knockout stages of the Europa League.

Olympiacos vs AC Milan: Prediction
With victory guaranteeing both teams a path into the knockout stages of the tournament, both sides are likely to field full strength teams.
AC Milan is on a 4 match unbeaten streak, and is expected to at least get a point against their Greek opponents. Moreover, the Greek giants have been on a poor run of form in the domestic circuit, with the club trailing their league leaders by 8 points.
Olympiacos can take confidence in the fact that the Milan centre-back pairing of Zapata and Abate are very inexperienced in their positions.
